Left Behind – Many Days in the Making...

It's amazing what unexpected treasures are uncovered when exhibits are moved (and we finally get to see what lies behind the Littlewoods cave!)

Here's a short list of some of the discoveries made over the last week:

• Mounds of plastic potatoes, clams and more – enough to feed a small (pretend) army


• Tons of tessellation pieces and pattern blocks that haven't seen the light of day in years


• A wallet misplaced 2 years ago (and promptly returned)


• A missing Museum toolbox – a well-timed find!


• A long lost caterpillar finger puppet, modeled here by Arielle


• And behind the Iway bridge, a bounty of tools – 33 bridge mending plates and 15 wrenches, to be exact!

It's incredible how things can travel - maybe exhibit elves at work? Now if we could only find all of those missing socks...
